    @neilpr85 @virginmedia Yes, this! Oh and now O2 have told me I might lose signal over 24hrs as they’re doing some works. So no mobile data for me either! I feel like I’ve jumped in a time machine and have gone back to 1990!! 😫

    @virginmedia My broadband is finally back on. But after this latest horrific outage, I am now actively searching for a new provider. #virginoutage

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Ah, so when there will be nothing to do or see you will become interested, is that the customer service ethos at VMB? Staggering, but not surprising

    You still have not fixed the internet at Sw4 @virginmedia ???? What do you reckon your subscribers think of you? Good or bad ???

    Virgin why do I keep losing my mobile network? @virginmedia (been trying to post this since 11am lol) as I have virgin broadband as well. 😤

    Great to see another SNR outage in SW19 @virginmedia and no ‘fix’ date. @Ofcom

  • ninepine
    Mike Fuller (@ninepine) reported from Banstead, England

    @virginmedia Talked 150 who managed to change one error message for another! Total #fail so far by @virginmedia

    Ravin 🇹🇹🇬🇧 (@ravinrr80) reported from Merton, England

    Hey @virginmedia I already am paying more with this new package I was forced to take to renew my contract recently and now you want to force me to pay £7 MORE a month?! Also why can I not get a human on the phone?! I refuse to pay a penny more. Fix this nonsense.

    @virginmedia Your status and service checkers aren’t working. There is clearly a problem, somebody please offer assistance and not meaningless and not working URLs

    Problems again with @virginmedia in Oxford!! When will you get this sorted #virginbroadband #virginmediadown

    @virginmedia Pre install was yesterday with technician linking my house to virgin and ever since I've had no Internet from my current provider. spoke with pre install last night, and today, total of 4 handlers then cust. Service with no resolution and nobody wanting to deal with it now!

  • JoanaLoGomes
    Joana (@JoanaLoGomes) reported from Merton, England

    Hey @virginmedia. Any chance the Broadband issue is getting fixed soon in SW17? I’m working from home tomorrow, so this is a bummer really!

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    There’s a new Hitron Chita paperweight from @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp - it’s expensive but the only thing it can do without going out of service every few minutes

  • Champion3Claire
    Claire Champion (@Champion3Claire) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia An explanation of the problem and what is being done would be a good start for customer service. Right now that’s sadly lacking. I hope there will be a £ reduction in the bill for the lack of service??

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I did and it said the service was ok. It’s now working after several times of going onto Amazon. I just don’t know why the service has become so poor recently

  • RPLibDems
    Raynes Park Lib Dems (@RPLibDems) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia @RichMeader Could the web page be updated with the fix date please so people can plan accordingly?

  • DogAteMyWookie
    Mr Wookie aka Cliff (@DogAteMyWookie) reported from Croydon, England

    Hey @virginmedia when are people in the CR0 postcode going to get their Internet back? It's been down since lunch? Any ETA? Need to plan if I need to go to the office tomorrow instead.

  • JaneCommon
    Jane Common (@JaneCommon) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia It obviously is an area issue as we have an area WhatsApp group and everyone’s internet is down: but I don’t have time to call as I have appointments all afternoon and knowi will be stuck in a queue for an hour minimum. Can you email to alert them to the issue???

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    Time to ditch @vmbusiness I think, unreliable service & weak support

  • Nigelellway
    Nigel Ellway (@Nigelellway) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I have no broadband or phone, your online checker doesn't work and neither does your helpline. What's going on?

    @LessGrumpy @virginmedia Whenever I’ve had issues with Virgin it’s never been a UK call centre I’ve spoken to. Tend to avoid now but just left again after a couple of years of thankfully issue free broadband. Moved to PlusNet which is Openreach rebranded but far cheaper.

  • CCFCGrapes
    Kevin Davies (@CCFCGrapes) reported

    @virginmedia @George66Steve Sounds like a standard AI response. At least they did not say we value your custom. They could send you a message that says try this number and speak to one of our multitude of customer service agents.

  • jangofe42286291
    jango fett (@jangofe42286291) reported

    @dublinvoter I will never pay my licence fee again. This joke of a broadcaster all ready receives revenue from advertising like virgin media, they will survive without the licence money if they stop paying stupid wages to talentless hacks.

  • SlientPixel
    SUFI (@SlientPixel) reported

    @InternetH0F I mean in the uk literally a week ago one of our virgin media got fined 28m for making hard to cancel

  • sabele26
    Leslie B (@sabele26) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @virginmedia We had the same with Virgin when my mother died. Every other service, bank etc were great & helpful, we were still getting bills from Virgin a year after she died, we’d phone, they’d say it was now cancelled - another bill. We gave up when the house was sold.

  • CityVicks
    Vicky (@CityVicks) reported

    @virginmedia My point was more that you’d know better than me, but whatever. No issues in my area are showing.

  • adam_luxon
    Adam Luxon (@adam_luxon) reported

    @theashrb It isn’t at all and they’ll still think they can get away with it. The government should intervene in this matter to ensure that all public goods cannot outsource their customer service. A few months ago, I had a horrible call with virgin media after my contract finished

  • ECTXPLXSM

    @virginmedia @TheRealRokib Its been down for some people for days this isnt quick enough

  • Kilsally_Redux
    Kilsally Redux (@Kilsally_Redux) reported

    Virgin Media O2 is gearing up to provide wholesale access to its network to challenge the dominance of BT. But it said Openreach was seeking to “choke” off competition before it had truly begun by luring third party companies away.

    For more than a decade, Stan Beaton held onto something that many people would consider priceless. It wasn't jewelry, money, or a photograph. It was the voice of his wife, Ruby. Ruby passed away from cancer in 2003. Before she died, she had recorded the greeting on their home answering machine. It became the last recording of her voice, and whenever grief felt overwhelming, Stan would play it just to hear her speak again. He was so afraid of losing that message that he stayed with the same phone company for years, believing it was the safest way to protect it. Then, in 2014, everything changed. Following routine maintenance by Virgin Media, the voicemail suddenly disappeared. Stan was devastated. He believed the final piece of his wife's voice had been erased forever. When Virgin Media learned what had happened, they refused to give up. The company assembled a team of 11 engineers, who spent three days searching through backup systems and archived data. One executive compared the task to searching for a needle in a haystack. Against the odds, they found it. When the recording was played back to Stan during a BBC Radio Leeds interview, he broke down in tears. "That's her... It's just a wonderful, wonderful sound that I thought was lost forever." Virgin Media later provided him with copies of the recording so it would never be lost again. Sometimes technology isn't just about cables, servers, and code. Sometimes, it's about giving someone one more chance to hear the voice of the person they loved most.
